Ingredients

• 5 pounds Beef brisket (flat cut)
• 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 tablespoon Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).

Step 2

Trim any excess fat from the brisket, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat for flavor and moisture.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and brown sugar to create the dry rub.

Step 4

Rub the olive oil over both sides of the brisket. Generously sprinkle the dry rub all over the brisket, pressing the seasoning into the meat to ensure it sticks.

Step 5

Place the seasoned brisket in a large roasting pan, fat side up.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, combine the beef broth and apple cider vinegar. Pour the mixture around the brisket in the roasting pan, being careful not to wash away the seasoning.

Step 7

Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil to trap the moisture during cooking.

Step 8

Place the pan in the preheated oven and cook for approximately 8 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender. Check the brisket's internal temperature to ensure it has reached at least 200°F (93°C).

Step 9

Once the brisket is done, carefully remove it from the oven and let it rest for 20-30 minutes, still covered, to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 10

Slice the brisket against the grain into thin slices and serve with your favorite barbecue sauce or sides like coleslaw, cornbread, or baked beans.
